From years of plowen snow with a 4x4 f250 FORD AND THE YEARLY REPAIRS THAT ARE REQUIRED First off U/joints. next would be the inner spindel bearings , one of the things that nobody knowes about till it has ate the axel stub and bearings as there is no way for these littel suckers to get grease but by tearing the ft. apart every year and repacking the wheel bearings and the spindel bearings with your littel old finger . I learned this the hard way on my 78 did not have to do that on the old 73-75 just learned how to make a fast repair on the spider gears on that one . Snow plowen is hard on a truck and if you are doing a lot of it it will cost you now a days around 2000 grad a year just to keep it in good repair . I did all i could do on beefing up a plow truck big raditor heater tires transmission heavey rear ends ft. and back poisi rear chains and it still took lots of work to ready for the snow they never break till ya need them and on more then one big storm they would have something fail at 3or 4 in the morning when it is 20 below and snow so hard that ya can't see the end of the plow .
